Mila no Multiverso

This back story for Mila, is interesting even for adults. Still a story where teen don't tryst adults or adults are represented as people who don't listen, like Mila's disconnected mother. That said the universes are interesting, the operators are scary and the bad guy/gal are foreboding. I haven't watched all the episodes, yet, so no spoilers. I can't say if today's teens would enjoy this film, but it's a great opportunity to introduce young people to foreign films that aren't in their native language and get them to practice reading subtitles. I prefer this to dubbing, Dubbing gets in the way of viewing actors performances in my opinion. I have watched many films in Spanish, Mandarin and French, but only a few in Portuguese. It was fun.

I do maintain that the adults in teen movies are poorly written, lacking depth and sensitivity. Given how poorly Mila's mother treated her, why is she even looking for her? What kind of back story doesn't explain this incongruous? Maybe they will do an episode to cover it. I hope the future episodes treat adults with more respect and realism. As these Multiverses are dangerous and the operators destroy them, it's a serious topic that I believe teenagerscwould appreciate. Treating it lightly seems very unlikely.

This production has some pros:

• Convincing teen (or so) actors and
• some nicely build environments

but several cons:

• adult actors that act as if they were teens and
• below average story, production values and CGI

So, for me it is a notch above the usual Disney channel quality for teen productions, and I probably will not continue to watch.

What I don't get are the reviews here that votes the series down, because Disney+ airs them only in the original audio. This is a flaw that has nothing to do with the series, and is highly unfair. If one is not able or willing to read, he or she should bring the protest to Disney, not spoiling the efforts of the persons involved in the production, they have nothing to do with the presentation in Disney+.

Of course, I also don't get the plethora of ten point ratings, friends & family maybe?

Disappointed. Set down with my 9-year-old granddaughter, because it looks good. Then like the previous reviewer, I had to mess around for the next 30 minutes trying to find the English translation. I kept reading for the 9-year-old who could not keep up with reading the subtitles. Finally, gave up. Found this post that informed me that there is no English translation. Too bad! The one star is for Disney not the show. Ok, just told my review needs to be at least 600 words. That's too bad, I have nothing else to say about a show that exhausted my granddaughter and I and wasted about 30 minutes of our quality Friday night fun.

Don't be fooled by bad reviews. I really hope it gets renewed for season two. It has a slow start, but then you really get to know the characters and the mystery to the multiverse is quite intriguing.

The top negative review was because it is not in English. That is silly.

This is a great show, kind of Whovian in it's own way.

Yes it is campy, but very fun. I think it ended on a cliff hanger of sorts, but nothing horrible if it doesn't get renewed, it is still worth the watch.

Synopsis: Mila gets separated from her mother in another universe, and there are these mysterious Overlords trying to destroy the multiverse.

Mila, a 15 year old schoolgirl, lives with her mother who spends most time in her laboratory. In Milas birthday her Mum wants to reveal a really special present to her, but on her way to pick Mila up from school she gets an unwelcomed visit from "the operators" and vanishes. The series accompanies Mila and her friends on the search for her mother.

For anyone expecting Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) or more references to the MCU blockbusters - sorry to disappoint. But it's a good story about friendship, family and growing up for a (still) young audience.

Currently it is only in portuguese/spanisch available, but with english subtitles (and other languages as well).
